Convenient to USC, but don't expect much!

Building needs serious renovation, screen fell off the bathroom window - I reported it but no one fixed it during the 4 days we were there. Union mentality amongst staff, I asked for a broom to clean up something late in the evening and front desk said it's locked up in the maids closet and they don't have a key cuz they're union?!? Most of the staff seemed unhappy, not very friendly

Overpriced, low budget dump

Low budget room that gets away with charging $200+ a night because of its location. This place is a dump and it's infested with bugs. Never again will I stay here. I couldn't wait until I got home to take a real shower.

Hotel Served It's Purpose

Overall this hotel met my expectations. This was a trip for business and I needed it to be close to USC. The room was nicer than other hotels I have stayed in at the same price, but in my opinion it was a bit overpriced. The bed was exceptionally hard and I woke up about six times both nights. The pillows though were nice! Hotel staff is very kind and accommodating. The free breakfast was nothing spectacular but it is free food! The room itself had some wear and tear, but the bathroom was clean and kept up. There are many great food options within a few blocks and a CVS just a block down. The wifi was very slow so I would not recommend counting on it for anything important. Overall, I would recommend this hotel but there are several others in the area that are a bit cheaper. This was the closest one I could find to USC though at a reasonable price.

Expensive convenience

We made reservations in May for 3 nights in a double queen/non-smoking room for an October stay. After driving 6 hrs, we arrived to "no record of a reservation" and the place was booked. Fortunately, I had our e-mail confirmation. It took an hour for the desk clerk to figure out there was a vacant single smoking room which we reluctantly took for the night with the understanding there would be a double the next 2 nights. The room keys didn't work, even after multiple attempts to re-key - (no doubt why the room was available). They actually had the nerve to try to charge us the same rate for the stinky, smaller smoking room as we were quoted for our reserved double queen! It should have been free! The next day, we checked out and back in to the "family" room - only room available to accommodate us since our son had now joined us as well. The room would be fine with a couple of small children, but a standard twin bed for a 6'3" teen isn't what we reserved. Window screens were filthy and torn. Air cond. was loud and either cold or off - temp adjustment didn't work. The TV had just a few lower channels with a reasonable picture. Everything else was full of lines. We asked for an extra pillow and were told there weren't any. The only good thing about the place is it's proximity to USC when visiting. For the price, it should at least be clean and in good repair with a reliable reservation system. Next visit, we'll go elsewhere and use Uber or drive to campus.
